expansion and prosperity of
the institutions already locat
ed here.
: There are many reasons why
communities do not prosper
but, there are only few rea
sons why a community cannot
progress. One of these rea
sons is the lack of proper ap
preciation by the community
as to what the mills, factories
and workshops mean from the
standpoint of regular employ
ed personnel and the distribu
tion ef earned wages. Salem
is the capitol eity of a great
state and. this resume of the
Industrial . employment and
payroll does, not take into ef
fect the more than 2,000 peo
ple employed by the state.
This fact has, naturally, . at'
traeted much attention to Sa
lem's Ilvability and impor
tance.
f Fortunately, however, there
..today, a growing conscious
ness of what the Industries
mean and a greater number of
citizens are finding the time
to take an interest in the poli
cies that control the manage
ment ef these local industries.
Since the close ef World War
n, there has been competi
tion between industrial com
munities in the Pacific North
west for the securing of addi
tional industries and commer
cial' establishments. The
greatest success, however, has
been experlened in those com
munities, such as Salem, that
recognize the Importance of
industry and with a general
civic industrial policy of en
couragement rather than dis
couragement of Industrial expansion.
. Salem is fortunate in having
ample cheap power, good
transportation facilities, a sub
stantisl labor pool from which
to draw workers and the prox
imity of raw materials. It is
therefore, in the opinion of
those familiar with Salem's
industrial possibilities, that a
successful industrial future is
as much a matter of expansion
ss acquisition.
There are located in this
community many smaller in
dustrial institutions manufac
turing specialties that have
before them an unlimited fu
ture. By careful nourish
ment on the part of the pub
lic, these institutions will
grow on the very merit of
their products. Many of the
Industrial institutions In Sa
lem originated here and, ex
panded slowly. Today they
are taking their rightful place
aa leaders In the production ef
their particular commodities.

Advice Given,
Tree Cutlers
Persons who arc going to cut
their own Christmas trees will
soon start heading for the
wooded areas.
So that these. Christmas-tree-
hunters may help in carrying
on Oregon a program to elimi
nate wasteful and harmful
Christmas tree practices, Lynn
F. Croncmiller, assistant state
forester, has provided a few
suggestions for their guidance.
CronemiUer advisee that
Christmas trees should come
from marginal lands, which arc
not being used for timber pro
duction, from "Christmas tree
farms" where the trees are
grown commercially for Yule
time uae, from pasture lands, or
from forest thinnings and farm
woodlands.
While commercial tree cut
ters are required to obtain har
vesting permits from the state
forester's office, those cutting
trees lor tnetr own family a use
do not have to have such a
permit However, they must se
cure the permission of the land
owner for cutting from either
private or public property.
CronemiUer offers a few
suggestions on how to cut the
tree. They are:
Don't cut your tree close to
the rosd and spoil the beauty
of the roadside.
Don't cut all of the trees from
one pstrh.
Don't cut the top from a large
wee.
When you cut a tree, leave a
branch or two on the stump,
because a branch will develop
later Into another tree and save
several years of growing time.
Be certain you are satisfied
with the tree of your choice be
fore you cut it. Wasted treea are
wasted years.
The assistant state forester
also offered one suggestion for
the tree after it has been cut
and placed in the house. That
was "extreme caution in using
lighted candles on the inflam
mable conifers." -
